Yep, I agree with all of this. Just the way I read your post made it sound like his one-on-one ability was a strength, but that aside, I agree with much of what you've said.No doubt he needs to work on many aspects of his game but we can only select the best defenders at our disposal, not league wide.
He's earned a 2 year contract extension for mine and I have big doubts about Adams being a viable no 1 or no 2 KPP at AFL level. I think we also undersell just how much development it takes to get a no 1 or no 2 KPD AFL ready so I have little to no expectation of Collins in 2016.
Hamling took years to debut, Roberts a couple, Morris was rookied as a 22 year old, Harris was a brain-fade prone ex-KPF for 2 years before he had any decent gametime.
Syd still shapes as our FB/anchor defender for 2016 as best I can tell.
